参考答案:Science or Humanities
① When deciding to major in science or humanities at college, many students find themselves in a dilemma.② Personally, I think the former is advisable for the following two reasons.
③ Firstly, in a society where more importance is attached to material civilization, it is natural to follow suit by majoring in science, so that one can hopefully make great contributions to the world in the future. As the very basis for spiritual enlightenment, material development is closely knitted with academic studies of science. ④ For example, the daily appliances can not be invented without a comprehensive knowledge about physics and chemistry. ⑤ Secondly, evidently, the significance of humanities -- the pearl of mankind knowledge -- cannot be exaggerated too much. ⑥ However, since most subjects of humanities can be attained along with our personal development, it is axiomatic that we should focus more on the more challenging knowledge at college -- science.
⑦ To conclude, both science and humanities have their distinctive merits. But in view of practicality and challenges, it is advisable that science be studied as a major at college.
